My love for girl’s hair accessories started when I was a little girl. My Mom would always buy me the most beautiful barrettes and do my hair for hours on end. As I grew older and stopped wearing them, I hoped that one day I would have a girl and continue what my Mom had done for me. So when I had a girl almost 5 years ago, I couldn’t wait until she had enough hair for her to start wearing bows, clips, headbands, etc. I am always on the lookout for new styles of hair accessories. When I came across these cute handmade hair clips, I couldn’t wait to put them in my daughter’s hair!
One Lil’ Cupcake carries the most adorable hair clips for babies and little girls. These handcrafted clips are 100% wool felt and will not slip out of even the finest of hair. I especially love the 2 gift sets which come with several clips. With the 12 Months of Hair Clips you can enjoy accessorizing year round with this unique set! Each hair clip is handmade to coordinate with all of your daughter’s seasonal outfits. This is the perfect gift for the holiday season, baby showers or birthdays and will arrive on a colorfully designed calendar – great for holding them!
The Flower Garden Gift Set is just precious and is a collection of their most popular floral clips. Each flower is a different color so you'll be sure to coordinate with many of her outfits. This also makes a fabulous gift for many occasions! The hair clips come on an adorable colorfully designed cardstock garden – how unique!
One of my favorites on the site includes the Design Your Own Monogrammed Clip. You can choose the letter color and circle color to match any outfit you wish! Also, the Cupcakes and Fruits are simply delicious! For the animal lover, I have never seen such fantastic Animal hair clips! All clips can also be made into big girl clips as well, just e-mail to request.

Forward to your husband: Here's what I want for Mothers' Day
I've been showing off this beautiful necklace and charm for a few weeks now. Its so well made, and looks incredible with my little guys' faces smiling at me. Don't fret about how to drop the to your husband that you're dying for one. Just copy and paste, feel free to edit so it works for you.
Hi Honey,
I know how very busy you are, so I wanted to help you with shopping for a Mothers' Day Gift. Of course, you don't have to get me anything, but I know that you will and I really just wanted to help you out along the way.
I found this stunning necklace on Etsy when I was researching healthy diets for kids last night. All you'll have to do is send them a picture of our little one (let me know if you need me to e-mail it to you) and they'll take care of sizing the image, changing to black and white and setting it into a charm. With our little guys' photo, it'll be stunning and adorable. And don't worry, Dancing Otter Designs is making your life simple! They even include an 18" silver wheat chain, so you won't have to rush off to the store to find a matching one. You and the kids can just put the pre-wrapped-in-a-cute-little-origami-envelope necklace in a gift bag (I have a collection in the storage closet) and hand it to me at Breakfast on May 11. (Yes, that's Mothers' Day.)
You'll notice on the Dancing Otter Designs website that there are 5 designs for the reverse of the charm to chose from: Heart, Hearts, Round, Mom and Love. They're all subtle in that they are silver on silver, and I heard that the heart looks just fab.
And here's the great news: things on Etsy are handmade, and this is photo charm is made by a Dad, Mark, who creates the necklaces to perfection in his spare time. A hobby becoming a business to make your life so much easier, Hon!
I even found a coupon for you. Just enter "MWS" in the comments area when you order and they'll refund your standard shipping fee. (Free shipping!)
Just hoping to be helpful. All my love,
Me
PS The last date to order for Mothers' Day delivery is April 25.
You'll also want to order an exra for the Grandmothers. These charm necklaces are gorgeous and sure to please every giftee. I can't stop looking at mine, and neither can my kids. Of course, they love looking at the photo of themselves that I take with me everywhere I go--and they're not exactly treating it gently--but its made to take a beating and keep on wearing.
This adorable Mother and Daughter necklace set celebrates the cherished bond between a mother and daughter. Each pendant is representative of the bond you share with your child and that between adult animals and their young. The child’s necklace is the same color as the heart on the mother’s necklace. There are 6 different animals to choose from. I love the butterfly! All pendants come with a brass chain and measure around 4 x 4 cm for the child size and 7 x 5 cm for the adult size. The set is just precious and is a great gift idea for Mother’s Day! They are available at Spunky Spout and are currently on sale for 40% off of the original price.

Does your child love to teeth on just about anything these days? My son has been teething for months now and always goes for the remote, phone and just about ANYTHING he can get his mouth on. I don’t remember my daughter mouthing at everything, but I do have a horrible memory! So, I tested out a SoRa Charm necklace which has a sterling silver charm attached to a piece of 30” black silk chord that allows babies to touch and explore or place in their mouths for teething gums.
SoRa Charms are beautiful sterling silver necklaces that double as a teething ring/rattle. This fashionable, uniquely-designed accessory is made of 100 percent sterling silver – an antibacterial material (unlike your car keys!) and therefore safe to put in baby’s mouths. Best of all, it won’t fall on the floor! Plus, every charm has a rattle inside to provide pure enjoyment for your little one. The charms are designed to be large enough in size so they are not choking hazards. You’ll look stylish wearing it while your baby stays happy.
My son actually seemed quite content while I wore it and held him. He went right for it and was playing and teething on it for quite some time. I decided to try it out of the house as well! I wore it while waiting at my daughter’s pre-school classroom to pick her up one day where I am always holding him and trying to prevent my little wiggle worm from getting loose! I must say that it worked like a charm! It kept him extremely occupied to my delight!
Once your child has outgrown the SoRa Charm it becomes a wonderful keepsake and it is so pretty that you will enjoy wearing it again and again!

I can’t even describe how cute the Cambodian anklets from Baby Emi Jewelry look on my daughter, Mia. The dainty little piece of silver jewelry hanging on her chubby little ankle - so cute.

The jewelry from Baby Emi is beautiful. They offer adorable Mommy and Me bracelets, name bracelets, birthstone bracelets and many more. But I am particularly fond of their Cambodian Jingle Bells Jewelry. There’s even a story behind the traditional Cambodian jewelry. Read all about it on www.babyemijewelry.com.

I am among the more “well endowed.” I love the look of wrap shirts and V-necks which flatter me, except when they are gaping open and offering up a bit too much cleavage. This is especially a problem because Mia loves to hold on to one side of my shirt and pull when being carried. I have tried the double sided tape but its useless when going up against my 15 month old daughter. I have tried in vain to safety pin myself in the efforts to be just a bit more modest. I have to tell you, I am very inept at this task. While I am able to cover up, a tiny silver bar joining the opening of my shirt is not so attractive. I recently discovered the Bosom Button. A fashionable pin to hold together my shirt that is not meant to be hidden. The Bosom Button is a small Swavorski crystal or pearl that you can pierce through your clothing and fasten with a clasp at the back. It can also be used to keep sarongs, wraps, etc in place.
Each Bosom Button is 8mm in diameter , retails for $12 and comes in 10 colors. You can get a set of 3 for $25. Through February 1st, Bosom Button is offering 20% of your purchase. Use code MWS07.
If you hear tiny bells when I walk by, it's my baby bolafrom Oz Born Products. These charming necklaces are meant to be worn from about 20 weeks onward. These silver or enamel ball shaped pendants hang at belly level. When you shake them and as they bounce against your bump they make a gentle chiming noise that the baby can actually hear. After the baby is born they make an interesting nursing necklace and the chiming noise is calming to baby.
I actually find myself shaking the little ball to calm myself down several times a day, so I can attest to it's efficacy. Something about that chime-y noise is so soothing. Baby Bola's make a thoughtful gift for pregnant pals or treat yourself to a little instant serenity. Mommies with Style mention this article and get a free gift box with purchase.
I think all moms love wearing jewelry to show off their children's names. Practically every mom I know wears a silver circle around her neck with her kids names. Very pretty, but not very unique.
That's why I love the jewelry from BeadifulBaby. BeadifulBaby hand-creates beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces customized to your preferences.
I got to try the Stylin' in Black Onyx bracelet which is really pretty and very substantial. You can tell that it is very well-made and every detail is taken into account. I love that it is classy yet chic looking. And of course, it has the names of my two precious sons. I got to choose the number of strands, the colors, Swarovski Crystals, style of lettering, charm, and clasp type. I love that I can customize everything to my taste!
BeadifulBaby also makes gorgeous "My First Pearl" bracelets. (If only I had a girl. *Sigh!*) What a special gift for your little girl! I also love the Princess necklaces and bracelets as well as lots of other great styles for mom, grandmom, child and baby.

My daughter just received this very cute bracelet from Vienna’s Treasures. The bracelet is handmade with crystal beads, silver beads, and an adorable cow bead in the middle. Vienna’s Treasures makes beautiful and whimsical jewelry. The cow bracelet Mia has, is adorable and something different in her little jewelry box. The silver beads add a nice touch when mixed in with the crystal beads. And the whimsical beads make the jewelry fun. Another nice detail is on the clasp.

I've been holding off posting this coupon because I was waiting to give my Mom her birthday gift, and I didn't want to blow it early by blogging about it.
So I just gave her a keychain and necklace from Little Jules, which she just loved. Yesterday's call was to inform me that "all the ladies' on the tennis court were in love with the necklace!"
She's actually wearing one of the necklaces made for Dads - but it can definitely work both ways, and this is the keychain I also gave her. And I wear the Mini Julian & Co. and people stop me all the time to ask about them, I have one charm for each boy.
Anyway, here's a great coupon to Little Jules. $10 off with coupon code MOMMYSUMMER.
Birthdays can be overwhelming for everyone—even the guests. Stressing over the perfect gift for the little princess can be well, stressful.
But here's where I remind you that jewelry is always a good gift. Classic, fun and loved by everyone (well, at least most of those who are made with sugar and spice) a little baubble is welcome at any age. That's where Trisha Fay comes in. She has been making jewelry for over 17 years. Recently, after having her daughter Addison, she decided to expand her already successful women's and bridal line to include even the smallest darlings with the Baby Addison Collection.
The Baby Addison Collection offers an adorably sweet assortment of bracelets in perfect sizes from newborns up to 12 years old. Chose from a first birthday bracelet (which we have and is positively adorable) to a Swarovski crystal and pearl bracelet in Preppy Pink for that difficult to shop for tween-ager.
Visit and use coupon code MWS10 for 10% off your total order from now until the end of year! Oh and make sure you check back in with the Beautiful Garden Boutique this summer as I've heard Fay will be adding necklaces to the Baby Addison line.
I'm so busy dealing with the nuts and bolts of motherhood, mompreneurship, and household management, that I rarely take the time to properly adorn myself. But bling needn't be a thing of my past. It's time to bling this mom! Insert imaginary theme music here.
Every year around this time, pre mothers day, my attention turns to the plethora of mommy baubles out there. Most are sweet, and many are sentimental. But few are as hip, edgy and artsy cool as the bracelets, earrings and necklaces from I Wear... do you.
This handmade boutique line celebrates individuality. I'm transfixed by the way they take the common (nuts, bolts, washers) and elevate them to new aesthetic heights. Everything is gorgeously made, in a high quality way. And of course there is bling. The bezel set CZ stones give everything that sparkle, that perfectly compliments the polished metals. Put it on and you too can experience a total mom jewelry makeover!
Add I Wear...do you to your wish list this mothers day. The manufacturer is offering free shipping to MWS members when you mention "Mommies With Style" in the comments box.
I'd also keep them in mind for Father's Day - their cufflinks are hot for a dad that's not afraid to get down and dirty!
Now back to your regularly scheduled shop-er-tainment.
The perfect gift for Mother’s Day (for yourself or someone you love)!
Just in time for Mother’s Day comes ChristJ’s new and hip Tiny Tag Necklace! Each custom necklace comes with one pure silver Tiny Tag that is handmade for a custom, organic look. The Tiny Tag is approximately ½” long by ¼” wide, can accommodate up to seven letters and comes on a 16” sterling silver ball chain. Additional Tiny Tags are available and can be added to your necklace at anytime! This is perfect for those mommies who are expecting or who would just like to add a saying at another time. When you wear multiple tags together, they overlap each other on the chain or you can add sterling silver bead spacers between each tag to separate them more for an additional charge. These one-of-a-kind necklaces will be created after your order and Christi, who is a pleasure to work with, will contact you to discuss your piece. Since the necklace is hand-made it usually takes 2-3 weeks for you to receive it. However, if you order by April 27th, you will have it in time for Mother’s Day.
These necklaces make not only great gifts for yourself, but for your mothers, grandmothers and moms-to-be alike! Years ago I searched for a piece of jewelry for my Mom in honor of a special birthday. I wanted to find something unique that would display all of her grandchildren's names and their birthdates and had a hard time finding what I was envisioning. The Tiny Tag Necklace would have been perfect for my Mom so she could wear all seven of her grandchildren's names close to her heart!
I'm in love with the necklace that was just created for me! It has an “I Love” tag, a tag with my husband’s name, one with our daughter’s name and I am planning on adding our son’s name when he arrives next month! I have received numerous compliments on the necklace with everyone commenting on how cool and different it was. You could also put birthdates of each family member, an anniversary date, pet names (I’m not sure my husband would love that one!) or create or choose a saying that is suggested such as "Trophy Wife" (my husband better agree with that one!) The great thing about the Tiny Tag Necklace is that you can just keep adding tags! However you customize your Tiny Tags, you’ll love wearing and cherishing them in style forever!
Use coupon code “MWS” to save 15% off your order plus shipping is free. I know it’s a little early but Happy Mother’s Day Mommies!

Recently, I received this so cute pint-sized bracelet from Dolce Sweet Jewels for my daughter. The Bella Butterfly bracelet, part of Dolce Sweet’s Girlie Personalized Keepsake bracelets, features my daughter’s name surrounded by sterling silver and pink butterfly beads, fresh water pearls, and pink and green swavorski crystals. There are many little links to adjust for size as your little one grows. It is the perfect accessory for dress up. With my baby daughter being only 6 months, I did ask about any choking hazards the bracelet may pose. Melissa Clark, owner and designer, responded letting me know that the jewelry is meant mainly for special occasions, portraits etc. and not intended for use while playing, sleeping or day-to-day activities. She also suggests that children be supervised while wearing jewelry. These beautiful and personalized bracelets are the perfect little keepsake to treasure as your baby girl grows.

So we had the baby's Christening yesterday. I was feeling kind of blah about what to wear so I ran out at the last minute and picked up a cute brown dress from Ann Taylor, as I wanted my "I'm a nice wholesome Mom who at least looks like she goes to church regularly" look. To complete the outfit, I wore this pictured brown "Y" Swarovski crystal necklace from Simply Jems. It was perfect for the outfit, in what ended up being a fun day with close family, and obviously a special day our family.
And I received several compliments on the necklace. This is one of many handmade pieces of jewelry from Simply Jems. They have stuff for Moms as well as items for babies. Check it out and use coupon code "mommies" for 10% off your order. There's also free shipping on orders of $100 or more.
I seriously do not get sick of finding cool Mommy jewelry. Give me a million and one ways to show off my kids pictures or names and I'll never get tired of doing it.
I recently got a necklace from Little Jules, who makes cool pieces for Moms. I have two pendants on a silver chain - each separate piece featuring each of my child's names and birth dates on one side, the other has little hand prints and little foot prints. It's classic and simple and I've received a lot of compliments on it already.
Little Jules also makes jewelry for Dads and tots. Check them out and use coupon code P022807 for a free polishing cloth with order.
I am a self professed mommy jewelry maven. I currently own 3 pieces of different mommy jewelry. I am constantly trolling the internet for new and unique pieces. Now I would like to introduce to you the fourth piece in my collection. Made by the company Mackenzie Miller, and carried by Julie at Precious Personalities, this bracelet is a one-of-a-kind art piece. I purchased the design, Barefoot in the Grass. Deciding on the design can be a hassle only because all the designs are so beautiful. After several weeks of agonizing I bit the bullet. All I can say is that I am very glad I got that design.
The bracelet has a variety of glass beads, bali beads, crystals and even some turquoise thrown in for extra color. No two beads are the same. This is the extra color I need in my everyday life. I wish I could describe in detail some of the gorgeous beads used to make this bracelet. There are even some hand-blown glass beads. You can tell only the best beads were used to make this bracelet.
I love to find mommy jewelry that does not always look like mommy jewelry. The silver letters used for the names of my sons blend in so well no one would even know they were there. Jonah (my oldest) was absolutely enamored with the bracelet when I put it on. He kept talking about how colorful it was, and of course was proud to see his and his brother’s name prominently displayed on Mommy’s wrist.
I admit I can be a pain to work with however there was no problem with my changing the gorgeous design to fit my style. I had to have the bracelet 7.5” long instead of 7” (standard size). Instead of a lobster closure, I wanted a toggle clasp. Done! When I got it in the mail, it was not exactly how I envisioned, so I contacted Julie to see what I could do. After I stated my concerns it was no problem. I just had to send it back, and all was taken care of.
Julie really made the whole thing happen, and I could not thank her enough. As a kicker the bracelet comes wrapped so lovingly in tissue paper with a candy bonus. Overall the whole experience has been wonderful.
You can get one too from Precious Personalities with 15% off by using the code bracelet for the next two weeks. This one-of-a-kind beauty will be cherished always. Now my biggest issue is: if I have baby #3 how will they add another strand?
I've put off getting a "Mommy Necklace" for a while--love the idea, but its so committal to me. I'm still thinking I'm not "done" (though DH claims he's through) so I'd hate to get a necklace with one charm that has both boys names. I'd never wear it after #3 is born.
Then I found Suzanne Myers, a jewelry designer who hand-creates personalized charms. This truly unique Name Charm Necklace is casually stunning. Its grabbing compliments in mommy & me, the gym, at preschool, even the grocery store. Grandparents want one, moms want one, and the kids love to play with them. I've worn it daily with my "Mommy Costume": layered t's. Its replaced my string of pearls when I wear sweaters and jeans. And I'm finding I WANT to wear it with everything. After my engagement ring, of course, its the first piece of jewelry I put on each day.
The scoop: You get a choice of 2 silver chains--just like the charms, these are hand-oxidized chains, not necklaces you'd typically find at the mall jewelry store. The clasp is so cool. Again handmade, its an "S" shape and it becomes a positive attention getter when the chain turns--people aren't reaching over to help me turn it, they're reaching to inspect it.
The charms: Of course, this is the highlight. You picked your kids' names, so you must love them. Its only natural to want to keep them close. They remind me of thin thumb-print shaped shells. Scooped like a spoon with your child's name hand-stamped inside. Each "shell" has a different pattern to it, in my case dots on Carson's, dashes on Wesley's. You can order up to 3 charms and each charm is hand- cut, oxidized, stamped, pollished--no two will be alike. The necklace is finished with a stone of your chosing. And additional charms are available.
Of course, nothing's as great as knowing you'll get fantastic Customer Service, and Suzanne has been a pleasure to work with. She'll work with you to make sure that you get the necklace you want, customizations are available for an extra fee. Even before paying, you'll e-mail with Suzanne and plan your necklace, then she'll send you your invoice. So you'll know you'll love it!
Visit Suzanne Myers today. When you place your order, mention Mommies with Style to recieve free shipping. While you're there, you'll be lured over to see her other gorgeous jewels. Don't say I didn't warn you.
A cute little boutique with tons of unique and affordable items is Crafty Babies. They sell an affordable Mommy Necklace for $25, and I just love the look of the Binky Bungee, made of chenille that helps to keep the pacifier from hitting the floor and getting dirty.
It comes in a cute two-inch silver pail and makes a great gift for $14! Pair this with one of the travel blankets, that also comes in a cute silver pail and you present will be the hit of the baby shower.

I received this great Name Tag from ChristiJ shortly after the birth of my second son Cole, this past November. It immediately reminded me of "dog tags" that so many people wear for identification purposes.
The Name Tags design is simple: a round piece of silver (made from recycled silver) that shares with the world the name of your kids (in my case, my two sons). I wear my name tags with pride because I just love that my boys' names are so close to my heart. I ended up taking this pendant and putting it on the same chain on which I wear a necklace my husband gave me on our wedding day.
Simple, elegant, and carry your kids names with you everywhere: a single sided pendant is $60. And if you prefer, you can put cute sayings or phrases on the pendant instead. Check out the Personalized Custom Made Pendant Page on the ChristiJ site and use coupon code MWS for 15% off and free shipping.

I found a fabulous gift idea for those people on your holiday gift list who love to go out to eat or love to order take-out food. This painted Take-Out Menu Box from Tatutina fits the bill perfectly. Just purchase a Take-Out Menu Box and fill it with menus from all kinds of restaurants and then pop in a gift certificate or two. This would be a great gift for a teacher. Perhaps even the entire class could join together to fill the box. It would also be a great gift for an entire family because everyone could enjoy going out to eat together or ordering take-out on a cold winter's night. More of their best-selling Take-Out Menu Boxes are available in their Cucina Tatutina Collection.
That's not all! Here is another box from Tatutina that my daughter LOVES! My seven year old daughter has wanted a jewelry box for a long time, but I could never find one I liked, until I found this one. This 6-drawer Jewelry Box from their Butterfly Collection is painted with butterfly designs in rich colors! Each draw is lined with faux fur, and has plenty of room for Marissa's jewelry and trinket collection. Tatutina also has other jewelry boxes to match just about any decor.
For a box that ROCKS and other great gift ideas, check out Tatutina's great selection. Enjoy free shipping through the end of the year.
A group of bridesmaids gathered around the bride at a bridesmaid luncheon. All had been told, "I'll provide the jewelry as my appreciation to you", so none of these fashionable ladies brought jewelry for tomorrow's wedding. But, when the bride handed out the jewels, she explained that while the necklaces were just what she had hoped for, the earrings were, well, not exactly the gift that she wanted us to wear, at all. So, she explained, feel free to wear any earrings you would like tomorrow.
Tommorrow? But home, and this bridesmaid's beautiful jewelry, is 5 states north! Quietly, we squeezed 4 bridesmaids and our two moms in her car, and sped off to a quaint store in the heart of Charlotte. Nervously, we walked in. How much more were we going to spend? And how would we ever find something "right"?
The Charlotte resident knew exactly what she was doing, and although we only walked in with the intention of buying 4 pairs of earrings, total, we walked out with bags and bags of goodies. I think my aunt topped the group buying nine new items. And thank goodness they told us about their website. Every one of us has since shopped online (or sent friends there to buy.)
Hand Picked has become my go-to place to find fashionable, classy costume jewelry. There's an unbelieveable number of monogramming options available; I love this personalized mommy charm. Then there are the gorgeous watches--everything from antiqued to modern. And just in time for your event, you'll find handbags and fashion jewelry.

This DarlyBird platter is covered with fresh, fun, and fabulous treats, and you don't even have to head out to do any shopping. The first thing on the menu are these dainty Vintage Claire Earrings made from vintage Japanese plastic flowers with sterling silver posts. Great for sophisticated gals! Next we have this fun Blooming Bliss Barrette from their felt barrette collection. Perfect for girls of all ages! Joining the trio is their petal-pink Vintage Leah Dahlia Bobby . This vintage West German Dahlia bobby pin is amazing! All three of these wonderful treats are being served up for your viewing pleasure on their fab Mosiac Rectangular Platter .

Ask anyone in our house what their favorite thing to do is and the answer will always be: Read! We have more books than some libraries! So when I came across this "Priddy" Creation I was thrilled! A unique bookmark from Priddy Creations will be the perfect gift for the avid readers on your list. They are both functional and fun!
Priddy Creations only makes a couple of each design and then that design is retired. The bookmark that I have (pictured) has been retired. This means that each piece you purchase is very special! But rest assured, they are always adding new designs and creations.
For whimsical and colorful children’s accessories, check out Keenan Kreations available at Polkadot Patch Boutique! These child sized colorful bracelets and necklaces are handmade out of polymer clay beads and are accented with sterling silver, Swarovski crystals and cat eye beads. They are truly beautiful works of art that my daughter just adores. She has the rainbow flower bracelet and my daughter won’t take it off! Luckily for her, the bracelet has a half inch grow chain so she can wear it for years to come. To complete each accessories look and make it more unique, there is a charm dangle on each closure that has a beautiful design. I am really impressed with the craftsmanship and the sturdy design of this jewelry line for kids.

Wow, I love this one. Em Jewelry makes personalized photo tile necklaces.
Each tile holds a photo of your child or children and is classy and unique looking. It's like a cool, modern-day version of a locket. Your photo is displayed right on the face of the tile, which is adored with beads and some nice strand choices.
The photo is black and white and the image is literally affixed right on the tile (it's not inserted somehow, it's literally a part of the tile, if you can imagine it). Each tile necklace comes in a round, see-through tin, making for great gift presentation.

Does your child love to teeth on just about anything these days? My son has been teething for months now and always goes for the remote, phone and just about ANYTHING he can get his mouth on. I don’t remember my daughter mouthing at everything, but I do have a horrible memory! So, I tested out a

I am among the more “well endowed.” I love the look of wrap shirts and V-necks which flatter me, except when they are gaping open and offering up a bit too much cleavage. This is especially a problem because Mia loves to hold on to one side of my shirt and pull when being carried. I have tried the double sided tape but its useless when going up against my 15 month old daughter. I have tried in vain to safety pin myself in the efforts to be just a bit more modest. I have to tell you, I am very inept at this task. While I am able to cover up, a tiny silver bar joining the opening of my shirt is not so attractive. I recently discovered the

I think all moms love wearing jewelry to show off their children's names. Practically every mom I know wears a silver circle around her neck with her kids names. Very pretty, but not very unique.
Now that the kiddos have headed back to school, do you find yourself missing their sunny little faces all day long? 
Birthdays can be overwhelming for everyone—even the guests. Stressing over the perfect gift for the little princess can be well, stressful. 
Every year around this time, pre mothers day, my attention turns to the plethora of mommy baubles out there. Most are sweet, and many are sentimental. But few are as hip, edgy and artsy cool as the bracelets, earrings and necklaces from

A group of bridesmaids gathered around the bride at a bridesmaid luncheon. All had been told, "I'll provide the jewelry as my appreciation to you", so none of these fashionable ladies brought jewelry for tomorrow's wedding. But, when the bride handed out the jewels, she explained that while the necklaces were just what she had hoped for, the earrings were, well, not exactly the gift that she wanted us to wear, at all. So, she explained, feel free to wear any earrings you would like tomorrow.
